**The fates of a barista, a dancing criminal, and a deadly stranger become tangled in a world where the apocalypse is old news** All Mads Capot wants to do is run her coffee shop in peace and to be able to pay her bills until the next wave of intragalactic tourists arrives. But when a mysterious green-eyed stranger walks into the shop and seems to be the answer to all her problems, she's immediately skeptical. And her instincts have always been good . . . Luc is mysterious and adaptable, a drifter with a dark past and a score to settle with one of the galaxy's most infamous criminals. When he crosses paths with Mads, he inadvertently draws her into a complicated world of outlaws, renegades, and ancient curses existing on the fringe of a destroyed world. Can they put aside their differences to survive, or will they end up as two more nameless corpses? Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, Baz Luhrmann films, 2000s pop punk, club bangers and a dash of Star Wars, "The Last Coffee Shop" is a science-fantasy adventure for fans of Firefly, White Collar, fairy-tale retellings, and Diana Wynne Jones. *Stay tuned for spin-offs/shorts in the world of TLCS* CW: PG13 level violence, language, sexual themes, and mentions of abuse, etc
